The international investment analysis firm has moved its Budapest headquarters to a city centre palace, the interior design of which reflects the company’s profile, values and philosophy. The office spaces, meeting rooms and focus rooms reflect the global horizon of market research by referring to different geographical locations in their colours, surfaces and furnishings. The unique wooden slatted ceilings and functionally changing wall coverings of the circulation spaces, on the other hand, are metaphors for quantitative, analytical methods.


The office spaces are the isolation that helps researchers concentrate, while the lounge is the place for social life and recreation; the complex but clearly transparent structure of the meeting rooms, arranged in a box-like space, creates a connection. In the years after moving in, the company's continuous growth necessitated the expansion of the office in three more stages. The interior design strategy maintained the previously applied duality of the architectural language of the workspaces and the corridors, thus connecting the successive rental areas. However, instead of copying the already tried and tested interior design tools, new adaptations were made that simultaneously gave new interpretations and at the same time organically continued the working environments already well known to the researchers and programmers working here. The strong atmosphere of the meeting rooms and focus rooms and the colors reflect on global market research with the themes of the connections that entwine the planet, and then the commodities that are the subject of trade. The suspended ceiling and wall coverings of the circulation spaces continue the metaphor of analytical methods in the form of wooden panels, rods and grids.


The three expansions not only added new office space and more meeting rooms and video conference rooms to the office, but also enriched the working environment with lounges, a large community space, and a library.
